Terminal POST errors and beep codes
There are several POST routines that shut down the computer if
they fail. The BIOS sounds a sequence of beeps to identify the point
at which POST failed. The most usual errors are listed below.
The BIOS also issues one long tone followed by two short tones if
the video system is faulty or if an external ROM module (including
video ROM) fails.
Turn off the computer for 30 seconds and then try again. If the
fault persists, make a note of the error code (if any) and call your
supplier or authorised maintainer.
